A recess for accommodating cosmetics is formed in the main body, packing is provided between the container body and the lid, an annular protrusion is provided on the lower surface of the packing, and when the lid is closed, the annular protrusion is opened in the recess. The present invention relates to a compact container which is fitted in a portion to keep the cosmetic in the recess airtight.

<Prior art> Conventionally, in this type of compact container, an elastic packing is provided on the inner surface of the lid, and by closing the lid, the packing is pressed onto the outer peripheral surface of the recess for storing the cosmetics, thereby It is common to seal the inside of the recess.

However, in this type of compact container, when the packing or the container main body is deformed such as a slight warp, normal close contact is not achieved, and it is difficult to stably maintain airtightness. In order to solve such a problem, a compact container as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-116907 has been devised. In this compact container, a packing is formed on the inner surface of the lid, and an annular fitting wall is formed projecting on the container body side of this packing, and the fitting wall is inserted and fitted into the inner peripheral surface of the opening of the container body. By doing so, the airtightness is maintained, and even if the packing or the container body is deformed, the airtightness can be stably maintained.

<< Problems to be Solved by the Invention >> However, the following problems occur in the compact container as described above. That is, when the lid is closed, the lid rotates about the hinge as a fulcrum, so that the fitting wall of the packing fixed to the lid is not vertically inserted into the opening of the decorative plate. The rear end of the wall obliquely contacts the upper edge corner of the rear end of the opening of the decorative plate. In other words, the distance between the hinge center and the rear end of the fitting wall of the packing is shorter than the distance between the hinge center and the upper edge corner of the rear edge of the opening of the decorative plate, so further close the lid from this state. A relatively strong force is required to fit the fitting wall of the packing into the decorative plate, which causes the packing wall of the packing to be deformed forcibly to overcome the upper edge corner of the opening and to be pushed in. It becomes indispensable. Similarly, when the lid is opened, a relatively strong force is required when the fitting wall of the packing moves away from the opening of the decorative plate, which causes discomfort during the opening / closing operation. was there.

Furthermore, in the above compact container, since the fitting wall of the packing is forcibly fitted, there is a problem that the fitting wall of the packing is damaged or partially deformed, which may lead to poor airtightness of the compact container. was there. Further, there is a problem that the length and material of the fitting wall of the packing are also restricted.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a compact container capable of holding a cosmetic in an airtight manner and smoothly opening and closing a lid.

<< Means for Solving the Problem >> In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, a container body and a lid are pivotally attached at their rear portions so as to be openable and closable, and a recess for storing cosmetics is provided in the container body. A packing part is provided between the container body and the lid, and an annular protrusion is provided on the lower surface of the packing. When the lid is closed, the annular protrusion is opened in the recess. In a compact container configured to be fitted and airtightly held, a pivotally connecting portion of the lid body with respect to the container body is allowed to move in the front-rear direction, and the lid body is opened and closed to allow the annular projection to move to the recess. This allows the lid body to move forward or backward when fitted into the open end portion so that the annular projection is fitted along the inner peripheral wall or the outer peripheral wall of the recess.
